In essence, Clinton's Anti-Terrorism Act would set up a national police force, over the long-dead bodies of the founders.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Clinton himself acted in ways which increased the threat of terror.
I've always believed everything was about protecting the Clinton power structure and anyone would be sacrificed who got in the way of that.
The central role in the fight against terrorism is with national authorities.
In the mind of Bill Clinton, political considerations outweigh even life-and-death matters of great concern to his own law-enforcement officials, not to mention the nation.
The FBI's Counter-Intelligence Program would work hand-in-hand with police departments, literally planning attacks on Black Panther Party offices throughout the United States of America. They did this over a period of time.
Clinton was very early on aware of the problem of international terrorism.
Clinton's fakery was so deft and deeply ingrained that it was impossible to tell where it ended and the real Bill Clinton began. This constituted a kind of political genius.
Why did the Clinton Administration wait from 1995 to 1998 to tighten security and bolster counterintelligence at U.S. weapons labs?
I think there was a pretty smooth hand-off from the administration of President Clinton to the administration of President Bush, particularly in the counterterrorism area. The reason I say that is because there was, for transitions, I think a stunning continuity.
It was not the president's responsibility to run a law enforcement operation. It was ours.
